Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now The big give-away is the synths being so laggy. You can tell they were never meant for screenreaders. And remember, the software was free while in beta, I highly doubted it would be completely free.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now ‵vs12 I tried using Model Talker once, and it wasn't accessible anyway, and that was a while ago.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now He didn't exactly give it up, he just put the project on the backburner. Remember, he has a full-time job at Elias Software, the company behind a sophisticated game music engine. Besides, that synth was a really early prototype. Even if he did release it in his current state, it could've been just a demo program, not sure what program he used to produce the demo. Either way it probably wasn't it a completely usable state. I could try making one with Festvox and see what comes out of it, using the yeti. Sure, model talker advises strongly against using desktop mics, but you can't put the Yeti under that category. It's a level above consumer grade. Besides, Festvox is all you, so if you mes up, you can always just do another inventory.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now Speaking of which, I do wish philop released his synth publicly. I can't believe he just gave up on that.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now If they weren't available for windows, how was Philip Bennefall able to demonstrate the prototype of his synth he made with Festvox? I do believe they are available for windows, probably addons.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now Besides, you can always make a synth yourself, using Festival, which can do diphone and h m m based synthesis, or open mary, although Open Mary will require sighted help for now. Sure, the processing is all on your own, but remember that Model Talker was never all that great anyway, voices were slow, prone to crashes, and sometimes very mechanical.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now That's why I said it's likely illegal... also, whatever iSpeech is, it likely paid whoever they cloned money to give them the right to use their voices.

Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now
Re: Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now First off, cloning voices of celebrities and famous people is more than likely illegal. As an addition to that, whether Model Talker cares about blind people or not isn't relevant... since there are more than enough synthesizer voices to choose from, and making a screen reader voice based on your own is purely a gimmic. So it makes sense that MT would go this route. Empty threats don't go anywhere... they aren't in trouble.

Moddeltalker, you're in big trouble now Hello,I checked moddel talker's website, hoping to create a screen reader voice based on that of Danny kae (one of the most respected entertainers of all time). They told me that mt is no longer free to anyone not in the field of AAC, meaning it is only free for people losing their voice. This lends credibility to a recent theory that mt doesn't care about blind people anymore and I won't stand it. Voice cloning is already expensive as is, and there needs to be a cheeper (preferably free) way of doing this for us blind folks, as I want to make character tts voices of danny kae, stan lee and the legendary satoru iwada. So please be respectful in my frustration with this. For mt, you'll be sorry if you don't change your adatudes toards blind people.
